I didn't get in on the discussion about beginner's Greek texts; I do like
Wenham and have used it several times. But a great text for review and
"beyond" is Paine's "Beginning Greek" from Oxford. After 38 short lessons
reading from John, the student is routed into Xenophon's Anabasis and Greek
is never the same again. My recommendation - Dimitri
